At Heartland Energy Solutions, not only is the product unique and considered the next generation in Wind Turbines, but the manufacturing process also has a new twist. The plant is utilizing a zone manufacturing technique, rather than the more popular assembly line. Teams of cross-trained employees assemble each unit from start to finish, encouraging pride in the total project, and making each team eligible for production incentives. Employees will be cross-trained in the assembly, manufacturing and welding processes that the plant will need so that people can be moved around as needed during the manufacturing process.
